I also hold a stock of lens boards in popular sizes including; Deardorff 6x6”, Gandolfi 5.5x6.5”, Century 9x9”, etc.

Construction: My lens boards, like my other mahogany parts, are made using traditional construction techniques, materials (mahogany), and finishes (shellac - French polish by hand).
